Obama’s ‘Ben Tre Logic

By Joel Bleifuss

Has nothing changed since we were preparing to invade Iraq eight years ago? Yes, we have a new president, one who is smart and speaks in complete sentences. Yet we are about to jump pell-mell into escalating another war. With the surge of 30,000 American soldiers [RETURN TO ARTICLE]

    Thank you Mr. Bleifuss for addressing what I believe will be seen by history as the epitaph of a presidency. 

    The apparent MSM consensus approving of this Af-Pak escalation is mind-boggling.  Even more disturbing is hearing the same neo-con “myths,” rightfully discredited when utilized by Republicans, now being repeated by Democrats who simply ought to know better (hence, in my opinion, total moral culpability).

    Two articles detailing the mistaken assumptions and goals of this escalation are:

    I cannot imagine a greater cause for alarm right now than this Af-Pak misadventure, and I applaud ITT for having the courage to speak against such escalation at a time, and against whom, it is not popular to do so.  All progressives should do their utmost to emphatically point out the errors of this escalation, whenever and where ever they are repeated, especially since the man ordering all of this is allegedly one of our own.
